Hot Take:

Well, it seems the ARRL got tangled in their own antenna wires this time! When a bunch of ham radio enthusiasts can't log their 'over and outs,' you know there's trouble on the airwaves. It took them a while, but they've finally switched from Morse code to English to tell us what's up. Spoiler alert: It's a cyberattack, and the details are fuzzier than the reception on a homemade transmitter.
